Question 1

Is Belgrave South a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Belgrave South sits in the outer-eastern Dandenong Ranges among rolling, tree-clad streets with ready access to native bush and walking tracks. It leans toward an outdoor-oriented way of life, with local reserves and trails used for walking, birdwatching and mountain biking, and residents relying on nearby Belgrave for cafes, shops and the train station, including the Puffing Billy heritage railway. Housing ranges from timber and weatherboard cottages and chalet-style homes to contemporary renovations on generous, sloping blocks, so the area attracts families, professionals and retirees who value that setting.

The community numbers 1,670 people with a median age of 44 and a median household income of $2,382 a week. Families are dominated by couples, with couple families with and without children making up about 90.0% of families, and most homes are owner-occupied (42.3% owned outright and 51.7% with a mortgage, about 94.0% combined, with 6.0% rented). The suburb has also seen recent upgrades to the Belgrave South Recreation Reserve, delivering a youth space, pump track, Indigenous mural, trail lighting and accessibility improvements, and the community hall has been refreshed for local use.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Belgrave South?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Belgrave South to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. That means it's not possible to say how housing costs compare with the suburb's median household income as recorded at the most recent Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
